What warms a mothers heart

Dear Sami and Jack,
One of the things I love to watch is the two of you playing together, laughing at one another, and loving each other.  It warms my heart to see you two interacting.  You are both still so small (3 and 1), yet it is obvious that you love each other very much.  Sami, you get excited when your little brother wakes up in the morning and from his nap.  You say, "baby boy's awake" and you run upstairs and go into his room and climb into his crib to be with him. Jack, you just have to be wherever your sister is. She generates a lot of excitement for you and you just don't want to miss out on anything. When you were about 13 months old you learned how to give kisses and when asked you would give your big sister several kisses in a row.
Tonight at bedtime, instead of rushing the two of you into your separate rooms, I allowed Jack to join Sami in her bed for a few minutes.  You wanted to be as close to Sami as you could and the two of you sat and sucked on your milk bottles together and enjoyed the display of stars and the moon on Sami's ceiling. What a delight to see the two of you enjoying one another's company.  I pray that the two of you develop a bond of love for each other that lasts your lifetimes.
